Recognize the hazards associated with fall protection.! Know where to seek help and advice for fall protection (FESHM Chapter 5066) Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 2
3 Course Objectives! Know how to inspect and wear personal fall arrest system equipment (PFAS).! Know the requirements for anchorage points and how to tie off to them. Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 3
4 What is Fall Protection?! A series of reasonable steps taken to cause elimination or control of the injurious effects of an unintentional fall while accessing or working at height Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 4
5 Fall Statistics! Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry.! An average of 362 fatal falls occurred each year from 1995 to 1999, with the trend on the increase.! The cost of care for injuries related to falls is a financial burden for the entire construction industry Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 5
6 Where Do Fatal Falls Occur Floors, Loading Docks, Ground Level 4% Non-moving Vehicles 3% Other 12% Structural Steel 9% Roofs 37% Ladders 15% Scaffolds 20% Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 6
7 Where Do Non-Fatal Falls Occur Other 22% Roofs 12% Scaffolds 15% Non-moving Vehicles 9% Stairs/Steps 7% Ladders 35% Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 7
8 Anatomy of a Fall.33sec./2 feet.67 sec./7 feet 1 sec./16 feet! It takes most people about 1/3 of a second to become aware.! It takes another 1/3 of a second for the body to react.! A body can fall up to 7 feet in 2/3 of a second. 2 sec./64 feet Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 8
9 Planning for Fall Protection! Best practice dictates that fall protection becomes an integral part of the work planning process, from constructability, to systems installation, to use and maintenance! The workplace cannot be truly safe unless fall protection is incorporated into every phase of the process! Planning will keep workers safe and minimize fall exposures Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 9
10 The Steps of Fall Protection?! Is this the correct order? Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 10
11 Controlling Fall Exposures! General industry regulations (paraphrased) Every open-sided floor, platform, wall opening, or hole 4 feet or more above adjacent floor or ground level shall be guarded by a standard railing, or the equivalent, on all open sides except where there is entrance to a ramp, stairway, or fixed ladder.! Construction industry regulations (paraphrased) Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side, edge, or hole which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 11
12 Controlling Fall Exposures! FESHM Chapter 5066 Fall Protection Program Any worker, visiting scientist, or subcontractor involved in work activities and exposed to a fall hazard at or greater that 6 will require fall protection if fall prevention methods cannot be used. 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926 shall be followed when the work involves hazards that require fall protection. There are requirements that apply to all general work as well as specific requirements based upon the work activity that is being performed. Exceptions to fall protection requirements, as provided in , are ONLY for construction-related activities. There are no fall protection exemptions for maintenance or operations work. Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 12
13 Using Fall Protection Systems! Select fall protection systems appropriate for given situations.! Use proper construction and installation of safety systems.! Supervise employees properly.! Use safe work procedures.! Train workers in the proper selection, use, and maintenance of fall protection systems.! Evaluate the effectiveness of all steps Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 13
14 Fall Protection Methods! Fall Prevention- A system that will prevent a person from falling to a lower level. Example: Railings! Work Positioning or Fall Restraint- A system that will allow the worker to approach a fall hazard and work but will not allow the worker to fall to a lower level.! Fall Arrest- A system that will protect a person from crashing on to a lower level after a fall. Example: Fall Arrest Harness/lanyard Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 14
15 Competent Person! means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings, or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has the authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 15
16 Qualified Person! Qualified person" means one with a recognized degree or professional certificate and extensive knowledge and experience in the subject field who is capable of design, analysis, evaluation and specifications in the subject work, project, or product.

37 Personal Fall Arrest Systems! When using personal fall arrest systems: If you fall, the impact force to the body has to be less than 1800 pounds, achieved by using shock absorbing lanyards and a harness Minimize fall distance, the maximum free fall distance can only be 6 feet There can not be any structures below in you fall distance Maximum weight of an individual w/tools is 310 pounds Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 37
38 Fall Distances! Free Fall Distance The vertical displacement of the fall arrest attachment point on the employee's harness between onset of the fall and just before the system begins to apply force to arrest the fall.! Deceleration Distance The distance between the location of an body harness attachment point at the moment of activation of the deceleration device during a fall, and the location of that attachment point after the employee comes to a full stop. Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 38
39 Minimizing Free Fall Distance 6 Lanyard Length 3.5 Deceleration Device Extended Lanyard Length Plus maximum 2 extension (usually within inches) Tie to anchor above the D-ring Or use a retractable Using an anchorage above the D-ring and a standard lanyard may still allow an employee to fall a distance that may be difficult to rescue from. Using a retractable minimizes forces on the body, and may make rescue easier (and therefore more timely) Fall Protection Refresher Orientation 39
